Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Applecross?
Repointing is the fine detail work on ridge caps and hip tiles, and it's what separates a good restoration from an average one. We rake out the old pointing, clean it up properly, and lay new mortar carefully so it looks tight and professional. On Applecross homes, especially heritage places, the pointing shows from ground level. Most repointing jobs run $2,000 to $4,500 and we treat it as an architectural-grade finish. It's skill-heavy work, but it protects your roof from water getting in around the tiles.
Repointing is the mortar work between roof tiles, the pointing visible at the edges and ridge cap. In Applecross, it's one of the most visible restoration elements because finish quality's assessed from ground level on $5M+ homes. Proper repointing matches existing mortar colour and profile. Cheap repointing looks out of place fast. Most mid-century homes need repointing refresh every 15-20 years.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Applecross Properties
Stops the leaks before they start
Cracked, crumbling pointing is how water gets under your ridge caps and into the roof. Repointing seals those joins back up and keeps the weather out.
Flexible pointing that lasts
We use flexible pointing compound, not the old rigid cement mortar that cracks the first time the roof moves. It flexes with the tiles through Perth's hot-cold cycles instead of splitting.
Cheaper than a restoration
If the tiles are sound and only the pointing has gone, repointing fixes the actual problem for a fraction of what a full restoration costs.
Tidies up the roofline
Fresh, even pointing in a colour that suits the roof makes the whole house look cared for, which matters if you're selling.
Our Roof Repointing Process in Applecross
- 1
Inspect the ridges
We get up and check every ridge and hip cap, the bedding under them and the existing pointing, and tell you what's actually failed.
Why it matters: Sometimes it's just pointing, sometimes the bedding underneath has gone too.
- 2
Rake out the old pointing
The cracked and loose pointing is raked out back to sound material so the new compound has something solid to key into.
Why it matters: New pointing over crumbling old pointing just fails again.
- 3
Re-bed where needed
If the mortar bed under a ridge cap has broken down, we re-bed the cap properly before pointing. Pointing alone won't hold a cap that's sitting on failed bedding.
Why it matters: The bedding holds the cap, the pointing seals it.
- 4
Apply flexible pointing
Flexible pointing compound goes on in a clean, even line, colour-matched to the roof.
Why it matters: Flexible compound moves with the roof and stays sealed.

What's the difference between pointing and repointing? ▾
Pointing is the mortar in new tile installation. Repointing is replacing failed mortar in existing roofs. In Applecross, failing mortar between tiles is a sign the roof's aging and full restoration work should be planned soon.
How much does repointing cost? ▾
Selective premium repointing on a section of roof typically runs $2,000 to $4,500. Full roof repointing as part of restoration costs more. Most Applecross homes want architectural-grade finish, not budget work.
How much does roof repointing cost in Perth? ▾
It depends on how many ridge and hip caps the roof has, how much bedding needs redoing, and access. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price on your roof. Repointing is far cheaper than a full restoration when the tiles themselves are still good.
What's the difference between repointing and rebedding? ▾
Bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. Pointing is the flexible compound that seals the join on top. Rebedding relets the cap on fresh mortar; repointing seals it. A cap with failed bedding needs both, and we'll tell you which yours needs.
How long does repointing last? ▾
Flexible pointing applied over sound bedding typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more. The old rigid cement pointing it replaces often cracks within a couple of years because it can't move with the roof.
Do I need repointing or a full restoration? ▾
If the tiles are sound and only the pointing and bedding have failed, repointing fixes it for much less. If tiles are cracked and the roof's faded too, a restoration makes more sense. We'll give you a straight answer after we look.
Can you match the pointing colour to my roof? ▾
Yes. Flexible pointing comes in a range of colours, so we match it to the tiles for a clean, consistent look.
